Kelis is Free!

Kelis has been acquitted of disorderly conduct charges stemming from a 2007 incident when she supposedly screamed racial epithets to police officers posing as prostitutes. Though she was acquitted she will still proceed with plans to sue the Miami Beach Police Department for the arrest.
"I'm thrilled that justice prevailed in the end," Kelis said in a statement Friday (September 12). "Racial profiling is a very serious matter. Unfortunately, most victims learn to deal with this form of harassment in their daily lives because they feel that they don't have a voice or because they're not able to absorb the costs to legally fight it in court. I hope that this sheds light on the fact that wearing a uniform and carrying a badge does not allow you to act above the law."
"We feel vindicated that the court recognized that Kelis did nothing wrong," defense attorney Ira N. Loewy added. "Her protest over the illegal and unjustified harassment of her husband and friends was protected by her constitutional civil right to speech. She plans to bring a civil suit against the Miami Beach Police for this violation of her civil rights and unlawful arrest." Source
